CHICAGO, Feb 1.-The wheat market opened
this morning with show of excitement, occa
stoned by the reported panic the Paris
Bourse and the sharp decline in French rentes.
The starting price was Sac for MAY delivery, or
an advance of &c over yesterdays closing fig
ures They proved to be the top figures of the
day, however, in view OF nothing definite of q
wariike nature being contained in the cables as
provoking the Paris panic. The market gradu-
ally fell off to 83s q 83lc, rallied to $3.50, and
closed for the day at s3s 83ac. The London
cables did not verify the Paris scare, and re-
ported a dull and easy wheat market. The re-
ceipts at eight Western points to-day were 176,-
200 bushels. and the shipments $4,000 bushels.
The receipts of corn continue to be small, and
prices are held steadily showing no material
change. The speculation was limited. Oats
were dull and unchanged. Provision showed
considerable animation. The receipts of live
hogs were fairly large, with prices ruling l0c
lower. The early tone in the speculative pits
was one Of weakness, and under free raiding by
the bears" mess pork declined 80 a 371c per bar
rel from the highest point, causing considerable
long property to be thrown on the market A
reaction toward the close carried prices up 22Ic
from inside figures and the market closed steady.
Lard and short ribs were steady and showed lit
tie change. The leading futures ranged as fol
lows.
